Lawsuit alleges Kings discriminated against athletic trainer over pregnancy
Summary

A lawsuit filed by an athletic trainer against the Sacramento Kings alleges that team officials created a hostile work environment after she announced her pregnancy. The suit claims senior director Jaspreet Randhawa made derogatory remarks, creating a culture where commitment was equated with constant work. It specifies that the team prevented her from attending road games during her second trimester and demoted her to a position that allowed remote work, despite being told the change would be temporary. The lawsuit raises serious workplace discrimination allegations against the NBA franchise.
